Here it is:This Massachusetts author was a college professor, scholar, and a social activist. Although the author published many books, they are best remembered for writing a poem, later set to music, which has become a National Treasure.
Name the author and their famous poem.

It is raining...again. Oh what a beautiful morning! The spacious skies will see no amber sunrise this morning. I think I will go out and wave to the squirrels as they search for grain. Just another day in America.😉😉😉😉😉🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔Pammy Jo 😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗😆😆😆

And yet, here is another clue:"One day some of the other teachers and I decided to go on a trip to 14,000-foot Pikes Peak. We hired a prairie wagon. Near the top we had to leave the wagon and go the rest of the way on mules. I was very tired. But when I saw the view, I felt great joy. All the wonder of America seemed displayed there, with the sea-like expanse.”
A direct quote from the author in question, about the poem they wrote after being inspired by the view above. The poem was eventually set to music. Americans have been singing about that view ever since.
Does that help???
P.S. IF YOU FIGURE OUT THE POEM/SONG, YOU MAY GOOGLE THE AUTHOR WHO WROTE IT.🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
If you get it right, may God shed His grace on thee and crown thy good guess with Brotherhood from 🌊2☀️🌊!
